  • UPDATED DAILY

This Magic Life is the companion podcast to Bonnie Lippincott’s book This Magic Life (Coming Q2 2026). This is a space for exploring the unseen forces shaping our lives: intuition, creativity, motherhood, work, and the invisible thread that connects every living being. Originally, I imagined this next chapter as Mid-Level Manager Mom (following Entry Level Mom), with an eventual CEO-Level Mom. But after stepping away from corporate America, the idea of “leveling up” in motherhood no longer fit. This podcast reflects that shift — from titles and ladders to alignment, presence, and living with intention. Through solo reflections and intimate conversations, This Magic Life invites listeners to reframe success, trust themselves, and recognize the quiet magic woven into everyday life.

    This Magic Life #134: Meg McDermott: Reclaiming Mary Magdalene's Voice

    Send us Fan Mail Summary In this conversation, Bonnie Lippincott and Meg McDermott explore the re-emergence of Mary Magdalene's voice and the significance of reclaiming the feminine divine in spirituality. They discuss the importance of trusting one's body as a source of wisdom, the cultural conditioning surrounding women's bodies, and the intersection of spirituality and personal autonomy. The dialogue delves into the themes of grief, death, and the need for community healing, while also addressing the historical narratives that have marginalized women's roles in spirituality. Ultimately, they emphasize the power of truth, authenticity, and the importance of embracing the divine feminine in our lives. Takeaways Trusting your body is foundational to spirituality. Death is the mother of all life. We need to scream at funerals more. Truth doesn't care if we think it's true or not. Women have always had power in spirituality. The burden of control is heavy. We are the cosmic meeting point of divine energy. Grief must be processed to live fully. The stories of women have been left out. We are all connected to each other.

    This Magic Life #133: Reclaiming Fairness in Domestic Labor; The Journey of Fair Play + Unicorn Space with Eve Rodsky

    Send us Fan Mail In this conversation, Eve Rodsky discusses her groundbreaking work on Fair Play and her latest book, Unicorn Space. She explores the themes of domestic labor, the importance of communication, and the need for women to reclaim their creativity and identities in a patriarchal society. Eve emphasizes the significance of fairness in relationships and the necessity of accountability in carving out personal time for creative pursuits. The discussion highlights the challenges women face in balancing domestic responsibilities with personal aspirations and the systemic issues that contribute to these struggles. https://www.fairplaylife.com/ Eve Rodsky Eve Rodsky's Fair Play system provides clarity for domestic labor. Communication is a continuous practice, not a one-time event. Women's time is often undervalued compared to men's time. Unicorn Space is essential for reclaiming creativity and identity. The patriarchy conditions women to give away their time for free. Accountability partners can help women pursue their passions. Fair Play is not just about saving marriages; it's about clarity for women. The systematic erasure of women's identities is a significant issue. Toxic time messages can hinder women's ability to carve out personal time. Done is better than perfect; completion is key to reclaiming creativity.

    This Magic Life #132 Enneagram with Courtney Smith

    Send us Fan Mail The conversation explores the tension between authenticity and societal expectations, particularly in the context of motherhood. It highlights how external messages can shape behavior and limit personal expression, urging a focus on genuine responses to present situations. Courtney Smith Takeaways Our personality is shaped by external messages. We often conform to societal expectations of motherhood. Authenticity is about being true to oneself. Limiting behaviors can hinder personal growth. It's important to assess what is needed in the moment. Self-awareness is key to authentic living. External pressures can create a false sense of self. True responses come from within, not from societal norms. Being a good mom is subjective and personal. We should strive for authenticity in our actions.
